Dry Weather Is T*kl Causing Damage j The continued dry weather is 90- riously hampering the work of far mers in this part of the state, and unless relief from the drought comes very soon tho crop will be greatly reduced on practically all the farms in this section. Tobacco farmers are having the greatest difficulty in getting plants to live, and many have set over and over, while those plants that .ire living are showing very little growth. Cotton is coming up to a very poor stand, as is corn, and in fact it soems that the prospect now is for rather short crops of all kinds here this year. Italians quit Geneva as League of Nations continues sanctions. Baccalaureate Is Given Far Nurses —* " - •--# m KlnchelojCpeafcs on "Gifts Of Heal ing'' For Park View Graduating Class With "The Gifts of Healing" as a topic, Dr. J. W. Kincheloe, pas tor of the First Baptist church, de livered the baccnlaureato sermon at his church to members of tho gra duating class of Park View Hospi tal training school for nurses and their friends. Said the pastor dur ing his talk, "I count professional people of hospitals and kindred in stitutions as one of the greatest gifts of God." Dr. Kincheloe said he was satis fied from what he has seen and knows and has come in contact wi'h in hospitals, that it is "just God's modern way of performing mira cles and many more miracles to day than he performed in the three short years Jesus lived in ilie world." Members of tho graduating class, their fellow students nurses, and members of tho staff of tho hospi tal sat together last night at tho baccalaureate after coming in to gether. They aU?. left >'s a unit. Tho speaker, tntfTng four words, "tho gifts of healing," from First Corinthians, chapter 12, verse nine, «s his text, discussed, tho gifts of healing. He told how God not only calls the preachers, teachers, spiritual leaders, and others, but he also calls "healers," including, nurses and physicians in this group. Then he went on to show they perform modern miracles under divine guid ance more than did Christ long ago. Later he said, "I am still old fashioned. I still believe people get sick. It's a great consolation to know when we suffer we can put ourselves under the care of such pro fessional people, (nurses.) He congratulated, any and every community whore hospitals and such institutions exist under the leader ship of those who are giving a life time of energy and spirit to t»ie great work of "meeting the needs if suffering humanity." Saying he counted such profes sional persons as one of the groatosl gifts of God, he compared their healing work under divine guidanco with that done by Jesus. "There will never come a time in the history of the world, in tho history of the church, in the his tory of humanity when there will not be a large place for physicians, nurses and others like them." Referring to the example of Flor ence Nightingale in nursing, he con eluded by saying, "these young wi inen of this graduating class are tak ing their places in the line compos ed of the noblest women who havs lived in this generation." Miss j Nightingale headed the line. Other commencement events for the Park View class include the fi nals exercise Friday night at the Episcopal parish house when Dr. Beverly R.

ROCKY MOUNT, NO Senator Bailey WouIJ Add Tax Ta Fertilizer The following clipping was taken from, "views and Observations", id lite News and Observer: "A matter lias come to my atten tion which I feel is of great detri ment to the farmer of North Car >- lina, as well as the C'nited State*,'' said W. P. Crenshaw of Zebulou. "Senatoh Josiah Bailey of North Carolina has proposed an amend ment to Tax Bill IIR-12395, which provides an import tax on certain articles among them fish sera - .', fish meal and other marine animal scraps and meals and the tax that Senator Bailey proposes to impose is 5-8 of a cent per pound, which is the equivalent of $12.50 per ton on fish scrap. As the cost of this ma terial today at the port is about $3.) a ton, Senator Bailey's proposed lax will mean an additional cost of about $12.50 per ton added tQ today's price. "it is essential for fertilizer manu facturers ti buy foreign fish prod ucts to supply our needs in this country," said Cr nshaw, who is a fertilizer manufacturer. "It had a'- ways been tho policy of every nd ministration to in,pt3C no tax what soever on materials that go for tiis use of fertilizer and farming pur poses. I say that Senator Baileys amendment is a gross injustice to the farmer of this country, and tho fertilizer industry is most insistent that this proposed amendment should be killed, as such a tax on fertilizer material will bo a great hardship on the farmers of this country."

McCrae, candidate Tor Governor of North Carolina, has asked that this Primary election be put on a high plane. In fact, in such a way that it should be 30 clean that there should be no suspicion attached to it. No citizen running, we know, would want to be certified when he had not received honest votes. North Carolina has had serious criticism, whether it be true or untrue, we are not undertaking to suggest in this writing, but we do insist that the fair North Carolina have no spots cast on it by unfair election. We do hope that the people of North Carolina will give due consideration to this thought for it is indeed a serious one.

M. Stingley today urged all cit izens "to be particularly careful i with fire in the woods and to co operate with tho state forest service during this dry period by repurtiu,* fires immediately to a forest firt, warden." In connection with the danger of fires now, District Forester Sting ley stated in full, "The forest fire danger is extremely acute at thi present time. "Since there Ins been very little rainfall v.ithin tho past two months all of our northeastern Carolina woodlands arc highly inflammable, and due to tho absence of water in the swamps and small streams, for est fires are difficult to control. "All citizens are urged to be par ticularly caioful with fire in the woods and to cooperate with the state forest service during this dry period by reporting fires immediate ly to a forest flro warden. "It is a well known fact that a forest fire will do more damage to timber during the spring growing season than at any other time of the year. In addition to the timber dam age a spring fire causes immeasur able damage to wildlife. With the nesting season now on many thous ands of game and songbirds are de stroyed by fire."

Raleigh, May 28.—"fn seeking renomination in the Democratic primary of June O, I am running on my record," said Commission er of Agriculture William A. Gra ham. Oh more than one occasion, Commissioner Graham has focussd attention on the North Carolina .State Department of Agriculture. He was elected President of f he ] National Association of Commissi oners of Agriculture after he had been a member of that organization only three years. On the occasion of a visit to Ra leigh, Commissioner of Agriculture Nathan Mayo, of Florida, said: "I have just gone through the North Carolina Department of Ag riculture, and it is the best I have ever seen anywhere. I seriously doubt if there is one in the Unit ed States that can surpass it." WtiiJe here just recently, Com-, liussioner J. C. al. M:.32zJ issippi, said: "The North Carolina Department) has the! reputation of being one of the very best in tho United > States. Now that I have visited il j and seen it for myself, I know i this to be true. Your Commissioner j is one of the most popular in the, country among his colleagues. I ■ want to say this about the North Carolina Department," he continued; "it comes nearer meeting the na tional requirements set up by a rt presentative committee in Wash ington, in 1919, than any I know." Among those from other States to whom Commissioner Graham has been official host have been the fol lowing: Commission'rs Jewel May es, of Missouri; George W. Koi ner, of Virginia; Arthur Gilbert, of Massachusetts; Eugene Talmadge, of Georgia 3 Homer Hancock, ot Tennessee. Alcott King, of Connec ticutt. and Messrs. Mayo and Hol ton. referred to above.

Name Town , State , Route No SI.OO PER YEAH *" ON NATIONAL WASHINGTON OUR DIVIDED COURT i GUFFEY LAW VOID JUSTICES WIDELY APART LABOR REPORTS LOSS PERMANENT JOBLESS FOREIGN TRADE POLICY HULL'S FOURTEEN TREATIES INFLATION DEAD ISSUE IN THE FAR EAST By Hnio Sims, Spvcial Washington Correspondent Tlie Supreme Court's decision void ing the Guffey Coal Law as a violation of States' rights, brings to an end the legislative effort to stabilize the bituminous coal indus try through the regulation of labor and prices. Five justices concluded that mining of coal is a local mat ter and that wages could not b& fixod by Congress because thia would infringe on the rights of tho States. They agreed that tho prico-fixing section necessarily fo!l i with the other and specifically re fused to pasu on that separately. | Chief Justice Hughes agreed that ; Congress has no rower to regulato {mining because it is "not com merce' but thought that tho prico lixint; section of the Guffey Act was a valid exercise of Congress!* ! onal authority. Threu dissenting jus tices agreed that price-fixing is va lid and reserved a decision cn the wages-and-hours section because the question was premature inasmuch ns the provision might never be in voked. The reaction of the President was an assertion that the New Deal will attempt to achieve stabiliza | tion of the bituminous coal industry despite the decision. Labor leaders were stumped by the ruling, point ing out that the Court narrowly de fined interstate commerce and tp parently hold that it applied only to freight which is definitely mov ing. There were hints in labor cir cles that the only recourse was a relianeo upon the economic strength of labrr, which must be united in order to exert its power. John L. Lowis President of tho United Mine Workers, grimly declared that "every decision of the Supreme (Court seems designed to fatten cap ital a"nfl -starve jUs!rt,y labor." The decision of the Court left the score against the Government in I New Deal cases at eight to two. ! Only in the TVA and gold clause j cases has the Government won a 1 decision. Justice Cardozo has vot ! Ed with tho Government seven tint -Ics in ten cases. Justices Brandels and Stono six times, Chief Jus tice Hughes four, Justice Robjrta twice, Justices Butler, Southcrland, and Van Devanter once, and Jus tice MeEcynolds has voted agaiuat tho Administrations contention in every case. I Tho three divisions tf opinion were expressed in mphatie langun Iby tho justices, illustrating what ■ has ben referred to before, tho. J fact that the Court is widely apart iti its present views and that ti»» (social and economic philosophy of I the members are in violent con flict. Among the opinions were twf. separate views a3 to the attitude o? the Court toward its obligations, ibo two ideas about its proper legal procedure, and another concerning its attitude toward preserving par's of a doubtful law. Chief Justice Hughes objected to the Court's "speculation." The dissent of tho three justices almost taunted the majority for avoiding a. decision upholding price-fixing and criticiz ed it for "imagining" what Con gress would have done. The Liber als avoided the wages-and-hours section, which was denounced by ' >ix of the justices. Altogether, Chief ) Justice Hughes expressed his views •>n both questions most fully. Oth ! erwise, the decisions created many | iegal puzzles. In its monthly survey of busi ! ness, the American Federation of labor points out that profits for the first quarter of this year were 36 per cent higher than for the I same perir.d of last year but that tho average work week was nearly two hours longer, with average wares higher by SI.OO a week.
